THE GAUGE WIDENING

The clearest explanation Of the plans Of
the Utah & Northern for widening its
gauge early in June is given by General
Agent Baldwin of the Union Pacific Of
flee. He says that of the 263 miles Of road
above Poeatello all but so miles is now
laid with new steel rails, which have taken
the place OF the. old rails of the narrow
gauge. The thirty miles of track yet to
be replaced is above Red Rock. When
they get ready to change to standard gauge
all they will have to do will be to spread
the rails. Before doing this the spikes
which are totbe outside of the rails will be
driven partially in along the entire line.
The rails will need only to be spread out
against these spikes; then one blow will
tighten the spikes, and all that will remain
will be to drive the spikes inside the rails.
New broad gauge ties take the place of
every second narrow gauge one, which
will be all the change in the ties that will
be necessary. The widening of the gauge
will be done all in on day and only one
train will miss

MAJOR RoDaER s TRIP.

-
Ms ior Rodgers, the exploring engineer
Of the Manitoba company, has been heard
from. He did not go into the Flathead
country, but d few days ago was looking
oses the country along the Nnllan road,
being at that time in the vicinity Of Crows
Nest. This is the route that the hest in
formed believe viii be adopted by the
company. The Missoula Times says the
most practicable route for the Manitoba
road is down the Big Blaekfoot, through
Missoula and thence over the Mullan route
to Washington territory and the coast.
Those Who are most familiar with the
mountain passes say the road must come
this way, or else spend several unneces-
sary millions IN snrmounting the greater
Obstacles to the north.

Speaker OF the House, whom they helped
to elect, says he will agree to abolish the
tax on tobacco providing corresponding
reduction is made in customs duties
President Cleveland said 10 his message,
speaking Of internal revenue taxation:
There appears to be no just complaint
OF this taxation by the consumers OF these arti-
Giles, and there seems to be nothing 50 well able
10 bear the burden without hardship to any
portion Of The people.
And now the Secretary Of the Treasury
hes spoken out. What do the Virginia and
North Carolina and Tennessee and other
tobacco growing Democratic farmers upon
whom the burdens and vexatIons OF this
wnr tsxaIion fall say to the utterances OF
their chosen leaders?
The poor farmers must continue TO suffer
Gdicus taxation that tue Democratic party
may strike down the manufacturers. Tue

so far as The tobacco and whisky taxes are
concerned, belor e body aud soul to the

"REDUcE duties upon every dutiable ar
tlcle to the lowest point possible" That
is Secretary Fairchlld's method Of reducing
the incomeof the government. Common
sense indicates and experience pr owes that
such reduction would increase the reye-
nue., and 1t would at the same time break
down the American manufacturing inter
osts. 1t would deprive hundreds of thou
sands of people of work, and when the
American manufactures were closed the
British, German, and French manufacturers
could make the prices for their goods what
ever they chose. The English Golden Club
never had members working so earnestly,
or rendering such valuable aid as that given
them by Messrs. Cleveland, Falrchild, and

We o metimes think-perhaps we're
wrong that advertising has had It's
days that the people take scum grano
salis"-as they have a right to-ali the
claims that advertisers make. We're
led to think this-Dot because our plain
statements of facts are not read and re-
lied upon-we have good reason to know
diGereDt-but because we are struck
with tho SEEMINGLY perfect unan-
unity of fairly reputable merchants
who advt rtise-to imm oiate themselves
on the altar OF seif-sscrifico for the
public good-by selling their wares
"below cost" simply to kill tims-or to

vice of tho public. We cannot blame
the people for growing skepticai-we
rather like it-because 1t gives us an
opportunity of proving to those who
doubt our statements-the truth of our
claims. Nothing pleases us better than
to have a visitor produce the paper
and request to see the items therein
advertised. Tho skeptic goes away con-
yinced-and returns with confidence
to remain our patron ever after. The
solid rock upon which our business
has been built and grows stronger and
stronger as the years roll by-is the
keeping faith with the people-under
all circumstances and condltions-be-
ing careful to advertise only such wares

Refnrm and Retrenchmen Q n I I.

The era of "reform and retrenchment' is
here In full bloom. As an evidence OF II
look on page 6 OF Secretary Fairch!la's re-
port and read the table at the foot Of the
page. The line over 1t reads:
There was an increase Ia the expenditures oil
s2j,ii9 Oil,ll, as follows:
Increase. Decrease.
Civil and miscella.
neous............. sll,097,s9 ..-.......... ....

(lDdians).........". 9o,56l ...
Interior Department
(Pensions)m....... 1l,62i237 ......... 80.
Interest on public
debt............. .........,,....." c&,SoS,O)o
Civil and miscellaneous expenditures are
those which include the salaries OF officials
and the ordinary expenses Of the govern
ment outside the war, navy, pension, ln-
dian, and interest accounts. There has
been 60 much "Retrenchment," With a
very large "R," that It cost the dear
people last year $ll,0o7,s95 more for
the pay OF ofllceholders aud ordinary ex-
penses than It did the year before, and this
did not include deficiency bill OF S5,0oo,-
COO, the amounts OF judgments OF the courts
against the United States, or q river aud
harbor bill.
But we are to have more "Retrenc mem"
during the coming fiscal year. Last year
The amount expended WAS $3l5,S3),42S
For the present fiscal yea-, comm ,nclns on
the let Of July, the expenditures will be,
according to Secretary F,ircalld, $}l6, ,SlT,.
1s5, an increase OF little over mllioa 4 d)l-
lars. The amount necessary for Interest 90
